Senior Hardware Engineer

Bring your hardware expertise, expand into new technical domains, and help integrate them into complete cardiovascular ultrasound systems that make a meaningful impact on patient care.

We are looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer to join our Cardiovascular Ultrasound team in Horten, Norway, where you will contribute to advanced medical-device platforms across the full product lifecycle, from next-generation product development to installed-base support, reliability improvements, and long-term platform sustainability.

Working on industry-leading cardiovascular ultrasound products such as Vivid Pioneer, you will help develop, integrate, verify and sustain complex hardware platforms that enable high-performance medical imaging solutions used by clinicians worldwide.

This role is ideal for engineers who have deep expertise in one hardware discipline and are motivated to broaden their technical scope while contributing to complete system integration.

Whether your background is in electronics, embedded hardware, computing platforms, FPGA technology, power architecture, firmware, or systems engineering, you will have the opportunity to grow into adjacent domains while collaborating with experts across multiple engineering disciplines.

As part of a diverse and multicultural engineering organization in Horten, you will work closely with electronics engineers, digital/FPGA engineers, systems integration engineers and mechanical engineers, while collaborating with software engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, supply chain and supplier partners.

You will also work with GE HealthCare ultrasound teams across Europe, the United States and Asia.

We are not expecting expertise in every technical area described below.

Instead, we are looking for an engineer with strong competence in at least one relevant hardware field, combined with the curiosity, learning agility, and systems mindset required to understand how individual subsystems come together to form complete ultrasound products.

You will contribute to system architecture, hardware design, integration, verification, platform development, technical problem solving, lifecycle management and reliability engineering activities while helping ensure robust, scalable and maintainable product platforms.

Depending on your experience and areas of interest, responsibilities may include:

Backend processing (BEP) and computing platform developmentCPU architecture, BIOS development and platform firmware integrationBoard-level electronics design and system integrationFPGA integration and associated digital interfacesPower architecture, power distribution networks, batteries and power-management functionsHardware/software integration, system bring-up and platform verificationCommunication technologies including PCI Express, SerDes, optical links and other high-speed interfacesHardware interface definition and requirements developmentSchematic design, PCB reviews, component selection and electronic subsystem integrationPrototyping, board bring-up and design validationFunctional testing, hardware test methods, automated verification and test infrastructure developmentEMC, signal integrity and platform-level verification activitiesInterfaces to operator consoles, displays, controls and external I/O systemsTechnical investigations supporting manufacturing, field service and customer-reported issuesReliability investigations, root-cause analyses and corrective actionsObsolescence management, component substitutions and risk-based design modificationsLifecycle management of existing platforms and technologiesContributing to system architecture decisions and cross-functional technical reviewsEarly identification and clarification of technical interfaces, integration requirements, verification needs and technical risksCollaboration with internal and external suppliers throughout product development and lifecycle support

As your knowledge expands, you will gradually assume ownership across multiple technical domains and become a key contributor to the successful integration of complete cardiovascular ultrasound systems.

We are seeking candidates with:

Master's degree or PhD in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical disciplineApproximately 5-10 years of experience developing, integrating, validating or sustaining complex electronic products or systemsStrong technical expertise in at least one relevant hardware disciplineExperience working with multidisciplinary engineering teamsStrong troubleshooting and problem-solving skillsAbility to understand complex systems and work effectively across subsystem boundariesExcellent communication and collaboration skillsPassion for learning new technologies and continuously expanding technical capabilities

The following experience is beneficial but not required:

Medical-device developmentRegulated industriesSafety-critical systemsReliability engineeringSystem integrationFPGA-based platformsEmbedded computing systemsCompliance with medical-device regulations and standards, including IEC 60601 and ISO 14971Engineering documentation, design traceability and risk-management processes

Success in this role means becoming a trusted technical partner who can bridge subsystem boundaries and contribute beyond a single area of expertise.

You will:

Strengthen technical ownership across the organizationImprove system integration and verification effectivenessHelp resolve challenging product and reliability issues through structured system-level thinkingFacilitate knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer across the teamReduce single-person technical dependencies by strengthening collective technical capabilityContribute to robust product architectures and long-term platform sustainabilityHelp teams identify technical risks early and establish appropriate verification strategiesBuild strong collaborative relationships across engineering, manufacturing, quality, sourcing and supplier organizations

Above all, we are looking for an engineer who combines technical depth with curiosity, collaboration, adaptability and a passion for continuous learning, while helping deliver innovative healthcare technologies that improve patient outcomes worldwide.
